Lady Pandora for Samy Odin at the Paris France Doll Museum.......

It was my great honour to be asked by Samy Odin to make his doll museum in Paris France, a doll for the most recent exhibit. Samy came to my home and studio last September to see my dolls and have a visit. After returning to France he contacted me and had an idea which he commissioned me to do for his Museedelapoupeeparis.com Fashion doll exhibit. He wanted a doll to represent the earliest of Fashion Pandore's right down to the powdered wig.
I have posted a few photos for you to see. There will be more photos coming from Samy and I will show you the exhibit photos when they are made available to me.
Lady Pandora was about 30" tall and fully jointed. She had layers of clothing and an antique French Toile Gown that I replicated for her.

Enjoy these photos for now and I will post more at a later time or email me for more photos of her in the making. toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Your work is worthy of all the praise in the world and it is simply a joy being your friend. I am so happy for you. Your doll really should make the covers of all the great magazines these days! Yay Kathy and of course I curtsy to the illustrious Lady Pandora.
